Masturbating kids. There, I've put it out there, so now we can all put our embarrassment out of the way and talk. If the subject is still just a little too taboo for you to share about, at least read about it--a really frank childhood masturbation post on Babble.com is pretty shameless.

"Childhood masturbation is as natural as it is embarrassing," says the
writer. And she's right. It's something that can start in infancy and
go up to about age 6 or 7 (eek!)--but until then, most children seem to
do it unconsciously and without much concern for what anyone thinks.

Great, the kids are unfazed, and we, on the other hand, are totally freaked out. Got, um, any "touchy-feely" kid episodes to share?
